Seeking readers' Christmas memories

What is your favorite reminiscence about Christmases past? We hope you'll share that with our readers.

When you reminisce about Christmases past, what shining memory do you relate? We hope you'll share that with our readers.

Whether you were a child or an adult, whether it happened on Christmas morning or in the weeks before, whether it had to do with a gift or an experience: Tell us about your favorite holiday memory — in 100 words or fewer.

We'll print as many entries as we have space for in the Dec. 23 Home & Family section, and more on our Web site.

Our favorite story will win a $50 gift card to the Cape Cod Mall, or the store of the winner's choice.
